Beneteau 40.7 'Game Changer' Takes Top IRC Prize in Belfast Lough to Strangford Lough Race
17th May 2021 The RUYC Belfast Lough to Strangford race start. The course was from Bangor south along the Ards Peninsula coast to the finish on an imaginary East/West line at the Bar Pladdy South Cardinal buoy in the entrance to Strangford Sound Credit: Fiona Hicks It could be construed as an encouraging sign that half of the twelve-boat entry for the inaugural Royal Ulster Yacht Club on Belfast Lough to Strangford Lough Race was from that destination. Boats from the local fleet which would have been expected to enter were Sigma 33s, not yet launched due to the inclement spring weather.
